If you can't cross this suspension bridge, I'm afraid you will be buried in the abyss. "King, are you okay?" Xiaomei looked at my pale face and asked with concern. I shook my head, I'm not worried about my own safety, I'm worried that if something happens to me, Ruoxi's soul will stay on this isolated island for eternity. This is what I'm worried about "Let's go" Wind Lord Turn around and say to us. He walked onto the bridge first, and when he just stepped on the second plank, the plank made a creaking sound, as if it was about to break. "Are you okay?" I looked at Wind Lord's body shaking, worried. When he got up, "It's okay" Wind Lord's voice was very calm, and then he continued to walk forward. I saw that Wind Lord was already walking in front, and we couldn't fall behind him, so I greeted Dumeng Princess and Xiaomei hurriedly followed and stepped onto the suspension bridge. When I stepped onto the suspension bridge, I realized that it was really not easy to live on this suspension bridge. It was shaky and very scary. "Wang, you have to Be careful!" Xiaomei shouted worriedly behind me. I thanked him and continued walking forward. The bridge was shaking very badly, and it was difficult to control the amplitude of the shaking. I looked back and saw that Xiaomei passed by without any pressure, but Dumeng Princess seemed to be about to fall, which made me a little worried, so I turned around and quickly came to Dumeng Princess The person beside me said, "Are you okay?" Dumeng Princess looked at me unexpectedly and said, "Why did you come back again?" "You see that your life is very worrying, so of course I am here." I said to Dumeng Princess said that Dumeng Princess had a happy face and said happily, "You still have some conscience."
I let Dumeng Princess continue moving forward, while I stayed close beside her. As we walked, dawn began to break, but we didn't reach the end; instead, we found ourselves in the middle of the suspension bridge, which only tightened the tension in our hearts.
"Everyone must be careful; this is the most dangerous part," Wind Lord's voice echoed back to us.
I took a deep breath as Dumeng Princess moved ahead. Suddenly, I heard the sound of wood cracking. My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Dumeng Princess; she had stepped into thin air and was starting to fall into the abyss. Panic surged through me, and I immediately reached out to grab her.
"Ah!" Dumeng Princess screamed in shock, her voice reverberating across the cliff.
"Are you okay?" I asked anxiously.
"Wang Niu, pull me up quickly! This is so scary!" Tears welled up in Dumeng Princess's eyes.
I nodded and was about to muster all my strength to pull her up when the suspension bridge suddenly shook violently. Xiaomei and Feng Ju were struggling with their balance, which made me hesitate even more. My earlier actions must have caused the entire bridge to sway.
"Wah! I don't want to fall!" Duchess cried out at that moment.
Her sobbing broke my train of thought and intensified my anxiety. I felt utterly lost about what to do.
"Your Highness, you can't move! If you act like before, we will definitely die here," Xiaomei said gravely. I glanced at the state of the bridge, and she was right; it was precarious.
I gritted my teeth and decided to hold my position for now, allowing Xiaomei and the others to handle their situation first.
Maintaining our balance, Xiaomei and Wind Lord managed to escape danger. When they saw me still tightly gripping Dumeng Princess, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's going on here?"
I was taken aback; Xiaomei and Feng Ju were truly heartless, not only refusing to help me but also mocking me.
"Are you guys going to help or not?" I said angrily.
Xiaomei and Feng Ju paused for a moment before realizing what was happening. They reached out and pulled Dumeng Princess up as well.
Once Dumeng Princess was up, she broke out in a cold sweat, letting out a long sigh, looking as if she had just escaped a near-death experience.
Seeing Dumeng Princess in that state made my heart ache a little, so I asked her, "Are you okay?"
Dumeng Princess shook her head, assuring me she was fine. I finally relaxed; although everyone was safe now, we faced a series of challenges ahead. Due to the violent shaking of the bridge earlier, several wooden planks had fallen away in front of us. It would be extremely difficult to get across; we needed two people to carefully traverse the ropes on the bridge simultaneously, matching their speed perfectly. If one side went too fast or too slow, it could lead to disaster.
After a moment of silence, Feng Ju looked at us and suggested, "How about I go first? Who wants to follow me at the same time?"
I thought for a moment and considered that Xiaomei and Dumeng Princess were both girls. I then asked them who would go with Feng Ju first.
Xiaomei, Dumeng Princess, and Duchess fell silent, none of them speaking. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and Feng Ju seemed unsure of what to do. I decided it would be best for Xiaomei to follow Feng Ju.
Xiaomei appeared hesitant, as if she wanted to say something. I assumed she had something on her mind and asked her what was wrong. To my surprise, Xiaomei shook her head and stepped directly in front of Feng Ju, saying to him, "Let's go."
Feng Ju looked at Xiaomei with confusion but nodded and said to her, "Alright, let's start. I'll take a step forward, then you take a step. When I place my foot down, I'll pay attention to your side. We’ll be fine as long as we don’t rush or panic; this way we can get past these big gaps."
Xiaomei responded with a soft "mm," appearing somewhat indifferent. Feng Ju didn’t say anything more and took his first step. As he stepped forward, Xiaomei followed suit. My heart raced with worry, fearing that something might go wrong for either Xiaomei or Feng Ju.
"Will they be okay?" Dumeng Princess's voice grew tense.
I looked at Dumeng Princess, feeling a knot of anxiety in my heart, but I had to maintain my composure.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. Xiaomei's spell is excellent, and Feng Ju's is not bad either," I reassured her.
Dumeng Princess nodded in response, saying, "Alright, but we need to be careful when we go over."
I nodded and shifted my gaze to Xiaomei and Feng Ju. They were almost there, just a few steps away.
Suddenly, an unexpected incident occurred. Just as Xiaomei was about to take her final step, the rope on Feng Ju's side snapped, and he fell.
In an instant, everyone was startled, shouting Feng Ju's name. Xiaomei was also frozen in shock. Just when we thought Feng Ju had fallen into the abyss, his voice came up, "Everyone, don't worry! I'm still here; pull me up!"
We were momentarily stunned but quickly rushed to the edge and began to pull the rope up little by little. Only then did Feng Ju reach safety.
Feng Ju was shaken by the sudden turn of events; his face was pale, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. I glanced into the abyss again and felt a chill run down my spine.
Now the rope on Feng Ju's right side was broken. The only way to reach the other side of the suspension bridge was through Xiaomei's rope. All our eyes turned toward her.
At that moment, Xiaomei appeared under immense pressure. She took a deep breath and continued forward. Because of Feng Ju's accident, she moved even more cautiously.
I couldn't help but feel anxious for Xiaomei as well. Suddenly, I noticed a fervent gaze fixed on me. I frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. When I looked over, I found Dumeng Princess staring at me intently.
I hesitated for a moment before asking her curiously, "What's wrong?"
When I looked at Dumeng Princess, her face instantly flushed as she said, "Ah, it's nothing, I-I just..."
After saying that, Dumeng Princess shifted her gaze to the ground in front of her. I decided not to press further, but I felt a pang of guilt inside. I sensed the emotions within Dumeng Princess, yet it was something I could not reciprocate. I didn't want to become the second A Yao.
With our concerns weighing on us, Xiaomei successfully crossed the suspension bridge, and we let out a deep sigh of relief.
"Come on, you guys. It's fine, but please be careful," Xiaomei said to us.
I nodded in response. Considering Feng Ju's earlier situation, I suggested that Dumeng Princess go ahead first so that we could both keep an eye on her.
Dumeng Princess didn't say anything and directly approached the ropes, carefully making her way across. It was clear that she was very nervous; beads of sweat were continuously trickling down her forehead. I felt worried, fearing that Dumeng Princess might accidentally fall.
Once Dumeng Princess made it across, I let out a deep breath—finally, she was safe.
"Feng Ju, it's your turn now. Just walk confidently; I'll be right behind you," I said.
Feng Ju paused for a moment, looking at me in surprise. After a brief moment, she thanked me and stepped onto the ropes, taking small steps as she crossed over.
